VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021 Mustang Mach-E vehicles equipped with all-wheel drive. The powertrain control module (PCM) functional safety software may fail to detect a software error, resulting in unintended acceleration, unintended deceleration, or a loss of drive power.
- What it can cause
- Unintended acceleration, unintended deceleration, or a loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- The PCM software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 9, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-800-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22S29.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner. This one is fixed by a software update rather than a workshop visit.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 464 vehicles this is a small campaign: 50% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the vehicle speed control 30 times before this, most recently in October 2009 as 09V399000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 342 complaints with NHTSA, 22 of them before this campaign was filed. 37 of those name the vehicle speed control, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in March 2021, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 12 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V417000 (power train), 25V513000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 25V404000 (electrical system), 25V315000 (back over prevention).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on May 13, 2022 as campaign 22V333000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
